BYD is spot on. They plan on not just building an upper deck, but an entire tower on the student side. The media would move there, along with athletic department offices and more suites.

The press box was huge before renovation to the president's box. Now it's barely big enough to fit 10 working people, and the game ops people are right in front of you, blocking views during games. Very frustrating.

Eventually that whole area will be The Presidents Box.

upon further review our seating capacity is far below the MAC, Sunbelt, and CUSA at our current levels
we are only larger than
1 of 13 in CUSA
1 of 11 in Sunbelt
0/13 in MAC

We do a little better with AVG. Attendance where we are larger than:
3 of 13 in CUSA
4 of 11 in Sunbelt
5 of 13 in MAC

We have too many slys on this board. Tel us what you know or say nothing at all.

I was actually working on an update for the site, but maybe I'll just hold onto it for now.

And if I was just Joe Blow poster no one knows, I would tell you exactly what I know, but I can't do that. I just wanted to correct something I posted last night that has changed.

Fair enough. It just gets under my skin sometimes but I can understand where you are coming from. You guys do good work it was just a quick reaction. Thanks for the explanation.

I thought they said if you build it they will come

[BJWilliams]

That makes sense as well. I think part of the plan originally was also to have a club level room similar to the "Baptist side" where you could host events, wedding receptions, etc. and of course club level amenities during home football games

[TH Spangler]

One thing I like about the student side, it's in the sunshine. Baptist side is in the shade and on cold days about 15 degrees cooler.

Can't wait to see it closed in. Game day should be loud.

Don't worry, I got the reference. even if noone else acknowledged it

I got it too, I just decided to apply the Thumper principle since he got hammered so much over his uniform comments

HEY, I'm not a jump ship type of guy, i'll go down with my comments sir, lol. So are they planning on making it look something like JMU's or different.

[JK37]

as I said, the 50th anniversary and 50th commencement are just off the horizon but itll be time to start planning for both of those before you know it, and you have to think the football stadium is going to be one of the showpiece facilities for both of those occasions and having space for all the different events planned would mean having at least the second stage done before 2018 or so...but that is just me thinking out loud with that

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate that this is ONE sentence! I'm a weirdo who loved diagramming sentences in school, but even Cider would struggle with this one, I think.

[Cider Jim]

JK, I'm not so much concerned about the length, but I wish BJ would trade in his ellipsis for some commas, apostrophes, & periods.

I tend to use ellipsis a lot due to operating in a stream of consciousness with a lot of my posts.

Once I start a post, I just let the whole thought flow (didnt they teach stream of consciousness in your English classes medic? I think Jon at least understands the concept). usually I dont think about commas and periods when im in a stram of thought so I just break it up with the ellipsis

Claiming stream of consciousness and justifying ellipsis on a message board is pretentious and using big words to compensate for a lack of substance among other things

That's why 90% of your posts make absolutely no sense. You're a grown man and don't take the time to formulate a complete thought. You just talk to talk.

If you're going to take the time to reply, at least take the time to edit yourself and make sure it makes sense.

Okay, well this thread has gone down one of the weirdest rabbit trails I've ever seen. Can I put this as my nominee for Quickest Rabbit Trail 2015 now?

^ I see what you did there, and I've never thought punctuation was funny...until now.

[BJWilliams]

With all that said, I go back to my original point, which I am aware is being repeated.

I understand JLFJR and JB wanting to hold the line as far as the next stage of expansion (although from what manson said, we need to stay tuned on that), but we do have 2 major events coming up in a few years: the 50th anniversary of Liberty University and the 50th Commencement exercises. One would think that, in light of these events, that they would want the football stadium to be one of the highlight facilities to show off during those events. They would be planning to have at least stage 2 done before that, FBS invite or not dont you think?

[Cider Jim]

With all due respect, BJ, I think it already is. I can't imagine any alumni coming back after 50 years and not be absolutely impressed with our current football facility. Compared to our Treasure Island days and our City Stadium days, Williams Stadium is a palace, a cathedral for football.

I have to give you points for originality on this one. The hybrid username joke has run it's course.
